Love this app! There are a wide variety of puzzles from easy to hard. So, I feel that my chess game has improved after just one week. I love the daily puzzle, but I do wish there was a persistent way to get to it from the app. Sometimes I accidentally swipe away the notification, and on most versions of Android once a notification is gone you can't ever get it back. Also if I clear the app from multi tasking while doing the daily puzzle, there is no way to get back to it. Great app overall!

This app has too many incorrect best moves, like sacrificing a valuable piece to no advantage and delivering a check with a piece that can be captured with impunity. Beginners will be misled by the errors.

Thank you for responding. Although one can appreciate the daily problems being from real games, they often start 5 to 10 moves before the end, are open to interpretation, and (more importantly) rely on the opponent to make a mistake.

The best app. Despite collections of puzzles offered, the key thing is the option to load your own puzzles, that is great.

It has difficult puzzles from real master games in the master section. The main problem is that many of the puzzles have alternate solutions, and I often have to go through many "good, find a better one" moves before I get the perfect move. An alternate move will also occasionally be considered wrong. For the response by the developers, I will give 5 stars, as well as because the quality of puzzles is good.

It does what it says; gives chess puzzles. I think it would greatly benefit from more classifications of puzzles, as every puzzle is "find the best move" at different levels. If I want to practice mate in one or attacking a castled king, I just have to hope I get that type of puzzle. Its acceptable if you just like chess puzzles, but I want to use this to learn.
